Is the guy on the cover supposed to embody the xiola.org community?

That's a serious question.

I actually don't mind it. It's got a creepy, dark aesthetic. I like the Christmas lights (harkens back to the old days). And I really like the Jane's logo...nice to see they didn't use the Jane's "brand" logo from Nothing's Shocking.

All I can say is it could have been A LOT worse. A million times better than the Strays cover.

I suppose it could be.

I thought it was a shot at us...hence the guy alone in his room, hugging himself. :lol:

Agreed. Don't mind Etty on there either - RDLH, NS bioth featured Perry's "girl."

Could be... alone in a room, sitting in front of the computer... by the size of the guy's package, I feel identified...

I gotta say, I don't like Etty's being on the cover, but I guess it's just a jealousy thing. Overall, it's not that bad... and it has that level of "hidden detail" that might make it interesting.

In fact, Perry granted us one of our wishes: the band is not named Jane's Addiction anymore.

It's weirding me out too...but I think that's a good thing. A Jane's album cover should weird you out; all of the original ones did (for me anyway). The Strays cover on the other hand didn't weird me out; it just sucked balls.

it is strange. i guess it could be a lot worse. a little too cartoonish...probably would be better if he (perry?) wasn't smiling...at least i think it's a smile.

It vaguely reminds me of the first Porno For Pyros album cover.
